Irony Alert

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!

Following the UK authorities banning TV charlatan Benny Hinn from entering Britain, one of his disappointed followers, a Ms.Jill Masefield from Bristol was quoted saying the following in the Daily Torygraph newspaper :-

"He's been coming here for years and years, I think it is very unfair that they have blocked him now. It has cost me a fortune in hotel bills and I feel we have been led up the garden path".

Oh the irony. She recognizes the act of being led up horticultural paths, but alas poor dear, she not does see it is Benny himself laying the paving stones of the broad way right in front of her.

I love it.

And Benny has a Private Jet too! I wonder how Jesus feels about that?

I guess that line from the Ten Commandments movie never gets old nor goes out of style :-

"If he had not wanted them shorn, He would not have made them sheep"

Review of "Capitalism - A Love Story"

Mr Moore's critics fall into two overlapping groups. The blanket "love it or leave it" crowd or the "oh boy what a hypocrite" bunch.

Both really have no merit. In the first instance they simply see America as perfect, so no one should want to change anything. This is clearly asinine. And the latter group can't hold two ideas in their collective head at the same time - they simply cannot understand that a man can be a critic of something, but still make money too.

For them, "socialists" should be bearded Jeremiahs wearing sack cloth - which is just silly.

Mr Moore clearly has a right to make movies and earn a living within the society in which he lives. These people simply LOVE rich people ( as Moore says, the saps think they will be as rich as Croesus one day ), but they really don't like rich people who criticize the system. That drives them nuts because he's telling them that the deck is stacked against them and they most assuredly don't want to hear THAT.

So with all the usual caveats and provisos, you should see this movie for two reasons :-

1. To learn about Dead Peasant insurance.

2. To be simply be amazed by how the $700 billion dollar bailout got railroaded through Congress.
